I knew she was in there somewhere!

There's this thing on the ladder of progress called a plateau. So even thought I'm always moving forward, sometimes I hit this plateau. It shows itself in my insecurity, my off tumbling, and my lack of confidence. When I reach the end of this plateau I have this surge in confidence and my skill jumps up in accordance. Tonight was my spike. My tumbling was great nad I stunted for 2 hours. At practice we worked tumbling and Duane said my standing handspring was 99% me. I did it almost by myself with him barely touching me. Even my round off handspring felt faster, stronger, and springier (yes it is a word). Gordon and some other people came to stunt after practice and it was so great to be able to stunt around some other people for a change. I totally concentrated on my stunts and what I wanted to accomplish. I hit toss to hands and walk in to hands on the first try! I tried tick tocks and heel stretches, worked my twist cradles, one hand libs, cupies and opposite libs. Gordon seemed really impressed. I felt so good about myself and my skills tonight. It was like who is this amazing cheerleader and can I please keep her?
